I AM - The Vine

"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5 As Jesus spoke, the vines hung heavy with ripened fruit throughout the region. His listeners understood the significance of the vine and the dependency the branches had to the source of nutrition and water..... Jesus, as the Vine, is our Source of life-life today and everlasting life. The Gospel of John records this repeated phrase "I am" seven times. Each repetition adds another layer of understanding of His character until we see His form perfectly.
